Jaggs, can I share some of these with you??Del, is there anyway you could seperate into a few bags so we could each get a few?? :cheer: :cheer: They are gun snapper burley and Im KEEN AS and can collect when ever is convenient with you.Could even go for a trout fish this w/end and I could grab some

For around $100-120 i reckon the shimano raider would be a good option. The spellbinder for 99 would be a winner, but I couldn't find em on the RnA website. Did u see em in store for that price Branzino?

If your looking at a lighter class rod, i would go a 3-6 instead of the 2-5. Look at a Pflueger Trion or Berkley dropshot. Both should be $100 or a smidge under.

Gotta agree with a warm meal on a cold night or winter session on the water.Always have a pack of chips or savoury bickies on the boat. Im a bit patial to a cold chook as well.Definitely NO BLOODY BANANAS

what type of bigger fish you thinking of chasing mate???? ,in my opinion it would probably more suited to heavy jigging and not much more , unless your chasing rays or sharks.

Mate they look the goods. I always admire a craftmens work that i dont have the skill or patience to even get close to doing myself. How long did they take ya to do?

Look the goods. Now lets get a pic of em hanging out a fishies gob!!

Hi, ive used Mr Sheen to clean my rods a few times and was happy with the outcome.I also once experemented with an old broken rod with a clear varnish that id bought from some tackle shop. Wasnt happy with that outcome as it just flaked awayjust by using my fingernail.Then i tried the 2 part epoxy resin that you mix yourself, this is deffinetly the way to go!projoe is giving you good advise , as this is the way i did mine too on a warm day.A turning machine will help lots too , it makes it all even ...roknev uses a spit motor ,and i will too next time im rebuilding.Harry

use metho to wipe down the rods (maybe 2or3 times).if the finish is discoloured & flakey they have been varnished, some marine varnish could be applied to the affected areas, if it is epoxy & you don't wish to spend a lot on the rods go to cheap as chips & buy the transperant 5 minute epoxy (approx $3).requirements once home with epoxy, one clean icecream lid or simular, 1 ice cream stick paddle type. use stanley knife to make ice stick into a sharp point at one end apply equal amounts of the epoxy to the clean (underside}icecream lid stir the epoxy but try not to make it to bubbly then apply to affected area on binding in clean smooth strokes with the pointed end of i/c stick & rotate rod in your hand to get a smooth finish.hope this helps. cheers. joe.

BDO, how do the glass lenses hold up? Im keen on a decent pair of polaroids, but was a bit worried how the glass lenses would go with a bit of rough treatment.Cheers

mate that little clip goes on the inside of the spool to put tension on the line holder(dont know what they are called, but that guitar pick thing that clips your loose line)Know this coz mine came off when i swiped my finger inside the spool and it got caught under my nail. OUCH!!
